Transcript excerpt

I say when the combo gets dry? You say nothing. You let it air out. You let it get dry. I have a rule. It's called the three question rule. I ask three questions, and after three questions, if I don't receive a question back or a question that can continue and carry the conversation, I'm out of there because it's no longer a conversation. That's an interview. And the only interviews that I am doing end with, what are your salary expectations, and would you like to receive this generous bonus package? Come on.
